Ugh. Not that I don't want to see all of them behind bars, but that many defendants means the trial is going to proceed really slowly. If this is true, I wouldn't expect a verdict in this case before election day.

I would expect because this is a state criminal case, Georgia has to wait until the two federal cases are concluded before they get a shot at the big names, but I could be wrong. Usually with RICO cases, it's said they hope most of those others cut plea deals and turn on the bigger names.
